new wheels/tires rubbing like CRAZY!!!

My new set up is rubbing like crazy, and has even started to take some gouges out of my sidewalls, especially the right rear. Its getting to be so bad I am afraid to really drive it much until it is fixed. I am running the following set up:

Volk GT-C and BFG KDW2

Front - 20x9.5, 255x30x20
Rear - 20x10.5, 285x30x20

I believe the offsets are +22 all around? Take a look at these pics- they extend well beyond the fender, and I dont see how even rolling the fenders will help much. Any suggestions? I have Tein H techs, but I dont see any way I can possibly drop it now, even though I definitely want to. Please ignore how ridiculously dirty the car is right now, its been raining for days.



camber is WAY off, need to get an alignment- but thats not going to help the rubbing.

Rough luck, dude. That setup wouldn't even be legal in Pennsylvania - wouldn't even pass inspection. Good luck finding a solution. Let us know how you make out.

Have your fenders cut. I have mine done for about $35.00 each. I think some people have rolled theres but I just but mine. Can't tell you did it and no rubbing. Good luck.

I have already called every single body shop in my town and they didnt even know what rolling fenders was. the local import/ricer shop knew, but didnt hvae the tools. Im going to just get them cut, hopefully that will solve the problem.

You can rent the tool somewhere. Don't do anything crazy just put your stockers back on till you have time to do it right.
